I was considering seriously addressing this guy's concerns, discussing with him what I perceive to be flaws in his reasoning and contradictions in his beliefs... all with the goal of helping him to become faster, better, stronger... and learning something for myself in the process.
Instead I am going to post a dancing monkey back on page 23, which I am sure he has bookmarked. Enjoy, #6.

Dr. Howl, I love you.

I would have presumed, you being Discordians, you'd be prepared for the occasional mis-match in communication.

We are. This entire thread is the planned response. We practice this routine all the time.

you're going to find people you don't understand. And they wont like it when you ask them to change, in order for you to understand them. You have to shift your dial a bit.

I read this as: You're going to meet idiots on the internet. They won't like it when you tell them to stop being idiots, in order for you to respect them. You have to lower your standards.

I'll go, if you want me to "settle down" that bad.

Okay, bye.

But you (the collective you) ask for more.

My reference to us as a being a monkey tribe was inaccurate.

Well, no. It was accurate, but for the purpose of this post it is a less useful model than considering us to be individual apes, cooperating only because none of us have quite enough power to take over. Treating people here like they're "them", while you are "you" will only lead to trouble.
Some monkeys have a one-man tribe. Some work together. Some never do explain.

Actually, overthrowing this site would be about 10 minutes worth of work.

It's those in a position to do so can't be bothered with the extra responsibility.  This is why you should pick slackers as lieutenants.

Yeah, fair point. None of those who would want to take over have quite enough power to do so, then.

I thought it was your inability to post anything that Dok Howl respects. But I'm probably biased because he's on my team.

"Bend over and pick up the soap"

Well, we're not here to be fair.
We're here to prepare you for life OUT THERE.

Actually, I'm pretty much just in it for lulz.
I can't say why the others are here.

THEREIN LIES THE SEKRIT.

You people are crazy.

I'm actually unable to put into words how absurd every second post on this thread is.


You've won. How do I conform? Or if that word's too blunt for you, how do I "settle down"? You've given me the verdict, now give me the sentence.

Sit. Read. Wait.
Try posting again after you think you've got it, if all this happens again, repeat.

Ok sorry:
Sit.
Read.
Wait.
???
PROFIT

Again, I appeal to your understand of discord here. You surely can force your subjects into settling or leaving. But there's a 3rd option here. I don't want to get stuck into your mentality. I don't want to be part of your tribe. But I do want to communicate with you and share experiences and perspectives.
Find me a thread where I asked or demanded anything else of you.

You can't have strict tribalism and discord. That makes no fucking sense.

I'd hate to be a tourist on your island, too.

There is no difference between being a part of this tribe and just being here communicating with us and sharing experiences and perspectives.

What is "our mentality"?
Explain it to me, please, so I can determine whether or not I subscribe to it and can consider myself part of the tribe.
You're already on our island. If you want to observe, try as hard as you can not to interfere. LURK MOAR. If you want to take part, don't pretend you're taking part in a different way than the rest of us. Or... do pretend, if it's good for you ego, but we're not going to accept it just because you say so.

OH JESUS, FUCK. I type a few paragraphs and there are 22 replies to read before I say something? I hate you miserable fucks.

You can turn that off, btw.

I would suggest doing so.  Makes life a lot easier.

I didn't mean I couldn't a get a post through, I just didn't want to post without checking the two pages where the argument might no longer be related to my point.

You force this routine on your subjects. And I wasn't talking about some kind of airy-fairy wavicles shit. You guys really fiddle with people. And you're observing it, and thinking it's happening all by itself.

Everyone is treated the same. You can tell the primitive folk right away, because they respond by flipping out and go into SRS BATTLE MODE. "I may not be part of your monkey tribe, but I'm going to try and occupy the same territory as you, anyway."
...and while we're not quite as 'HERPDERP' as some of those other monkeys, we're still apes, man... so it continues until the newcomer settles the fuck down or leaves (only because that's more likely than all of the regular posters leaving you here alone). Or we can keep going, if you're enjoying this, because we sure are.

You'd probably do a lot better if you tried arguing with the posters who are arguing with you, rather than targetting the entire community in your statements, too. Reading through a thread with accusations directed at "you guys" has this fantastic ability to awaken that primitive part of the brain. You might as well tattoo "OUTSIDER" on your forehead and wave a spear at us. Nothing constructive will come from that.

The arguing and the shit flinging isn't going to stop. Not even if you manage to be "accepted" into the community... and don't think that you could never fit, because I think you'd do fine if you stopped being so involved in the tension in this thread.
We show vulnerable parts of ourselves to this board... discuss our personal philosophies. Share our private thoughts from our lives outside this community... and we do this *knowing* that parts of those are going to be attacked. Inconsistencies in our beliefs will be brought to light. We'll be called on our flawed reasoning. Comfortable delusions will be shattered. This community will not be gentle about this. We've done away with the pointless layer of politeness, because we're here to build a better class of human.




AFTER READING LAST TWO PAGES.
It sounds like we are not the Discordians you are looking for.
We're a different breed, borrowing a name from your religion's founding fathers, like they borrowed from the Greeks.
